Nah. It's not just that Angel has 12 1/2 years to save the kid. The kid is, if the script writers are bothering with consistency, anyway, a distraction. From the big picture, the THE apocalypse. The SPs are trying to tie Angel down with this stuff. And we don't know that woman and child are what they seem. They could be In On It.

But it ought to be the sort of action, even if my take above is correct, that seriously alienates Gunn.
